Abstract (in English)

Originally, initiated as ICOMOS Action Plan on 20th C.
Heritage, and named Montreal Action Plan (MAP20), this
plan expresses the concern of ICOMOS members and
committees about the protection, conservation, management
and presentation of more recent forms of cultural heritage
that demonstrate intellectual, social, technological or artistic
evolution. MAP20 is the production of a global survey of
the theme from the worldwide network of ICOMOS National
and International Scientific Committees. It took place thanks
to the financial support of Quèbec’s Ministère de la Culture
et des Communications, the City of Montrèal, ICOMOS
Finland, US/ICOMOS, and private organizations. This
initiative has been actual for nearly 20 years and had brought
together ICOMOS to co-operate with organizations such as
DOCOMOMO, ICCROM, UNESCO, TICCIH, Council of
Europe, the US and Canadian National Parks Services.
ICOMOS has also been cooperating closely with UNESCO’s
World Heritage Center to promote the nomination of 20th
century properties for the World Heritage List. Additionally,
many national reports included in the Heritage at Risk 2000
Report, mentioned concern over the fate of various heritage
types associated with 19th and 20th century that has been
finally documented and identified in the 20th century Heritage
Survey project that was undertaken with the support of the
US/ICOMOS Summer Intern Program 2002.
